American education spending fell by about $600 per student between 2009 and 2014. Meanwhile, public schools are enrolling a growing segment of students who cost states more to teach: English language learners.
By 2025, almost 30 percent of all children in U.S. public schools will be Hispanic, according to the Department of Education. Many of them will be taking classes in English, even as they learn the language.
Schools in Dodge City, Kansas, where education funding has dropped significantly since 2009, are experiencing the effects of these converging trends firsthand.

https://democracynow.org - Schools across Oklahoma are closed today for a third day as teachers continue their strike demanding more funding for education and increased pay. Oklahoma’s public education budget has been slashed more than any other state since the start of the recession in 2008, and its teachers are among the lowest paid in the nation. Scores of teachers are planning to begin a 123-mile protest march today from Tulsa to Oklahoma City. Meanwhile, thousands of teachers continue to protest in Kentucky, demanding a reversal to a provision in a recently passed bill about sewage treatment that gutted their pension benefits. On Monday, every school in the state was closed either due to spring break or in anticipation of a massive rally in the capital of Frankfort, where teachers filled the rotunda of the Kentucky state Capitol, chanting “Fund our schools!” This year’s wave of teacher rebellions began in West Virginia, where teachers won a 5 percent pay raise after a historic strike. We speak to four guests: Oklahoma teacher Andrea Thomas, Kentucky state lawmaker AtticaScott, retired Kentucky teacher Mikey McCoy and labor journalist Mike Elk.

Lyndsey Stuart is a history and leadership teacher at Bartlesville High School in Oklahoma. She’s been teaching for 10 years. And she’s never had a raise.
“I don't think any teacher goes into the profession and thinks, ‘Oh my gosh, I'm going to be a millionaire,’’’ Stuart said. “But we also don't think that we're going to be that close to poverty.”
Earlier this month, the state teachers’ union, the Oklahoma EducationAssociation, called for teachers to walk out of their classrooms on April 2, the day after the state legislature is required to pass an education budget. They’re calling for a $10,000 raise for teachers over three years, as well as a $200 million increase in funding for education, which has been cut 28.2 percent since 2008.
Stuart makes $34,929 a year as a teacher, but she works around 30 more hours a week as a photographer to make ends meet. She said she makes about as much as a photographer as she does teaching.
And Stuart isn’t alone. The average high school teacher in Oklahoma makes $42,460, which ranks 50th in the nation.
“I know more teachers than not that have to have second or third jobs,” she said.
And teachers in other states within the seven-state region of Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas average $48,103 as of May 2017.
Teachers at Bartlesville High School have been taking personal days every Tuesday to lobby the legislature in Oklahoma City. But they haven’t been as receptive as the teachers would have liked them to be.
“We had a senator come to our school and told our children that a teacher walkout wasn't going to change anything. And I beg to differ. When you have 50 to 80,000, maybe 100,000 teachers show up at the Capitol, it's going to change things.”
While the Oklahoma House has passed a package that would give teachers at least a $5,000 raise and raise taxes in the state for the first time since 1990, it hasn’t become law yet. And it doesn’t include an increase in school funding. So the Oklahoma Education Association has said the walkout is still on.
“We were left with no other option [but to walk out] because they will not listen to us. And thus far they've gotten away with doing whatever they want, and telling teachers just wait and be patient,” Stuart said. “And how long do you wait? How long can we compromise?”

A discussion with Gretchen Conger, GovernorDoug Ducey’s deputy chief of staff for budget and policy, about funding sources for the governor’s proposal to raise teacher pay 19 percent by 2020.

The weekday edition of the program is currently anchored by Charlie Rose, Gayle King and Norah O'Donnell. The program emphasizes general national and international news stories and in-depth reports throughout each edition, although it also includes live in-studio and pre-taped interviews. The format was chosen as an alternative to the soft news and lifestyle-driven formats of competitors Today and Good Morning America following the first hour or half-hour of those broadcasts, in an attempt to give the program a competitive edge with its hard news format (CBS has historically placed third in the ratings among the network morning shows).

The Early Show, like many of its predecessors, traditionally placed third in the ratings, behind NBC's Today and ABC's Good Morning America. Much like Today and its fellow NBC program The Tonight Show, the Early Show title was analogous to that of CBS's late-night talk show, the Late Show.

On November 15, 2011, CBS announced the cancellation of The Early Show, and replacement by a new morning program that CBS News chairman Jeff Fager and president David Rhodes stated would "redefine the morning television landscape." The Early Show ended its twelve-year run on January 6, 2012, replaced three days later on January 9 by CBS This Morning.

This Morning (TV programme)

This Morning is a British daytime television programme that is broadcast on ITV. The show airs live on weekdays from 10:30am until 12:30pm featuring news, topical items, showbiz, style and beauty, home and garden, food, health, real life and more similar features.

This Morning (radio program)

This Morning was a Canadianradio program which aired from 1997 to 2002 on CBC Radio One. It was not always successful with CBC audiences, and underwent several format and hosting changes during its lifetime.

In 2000, the CBC discontinued the six-day format. The Sunday broadcast once again became a separate program hosted by Enright, The Sunday Edition, and Shelagh Rogers became the weekday host of This Morning.

Following the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York City, the program faced some criticism for the flaws its format revealed in CBC Radio's ability to respond to a breaking news story. Because the program had been prerecorded for its Atlantic Time Zone airing, and was airing in tape delay in the Eastern Time Zone while all of the stations in Western Canada were still airing their local morning shows, the network had no viable way to cut into programming in advance of its regular news break, and thus opted to wait until 10 a.m. EST to begin its coverage of the attacks.

ITV News

ITV News is the branding of news programmes on the British television network ITV. ITV has a long tradition of television news. Independent Television News (ITN) was founded to provide news bulletins for the network in 1955, and has since continued to produce all news programmes on ITV. The channel's news coverage has won awards from the Royal Television Society, Emmy Awards and BAFTAs. Between 2004 and 2008, the ITV Evening News held the title of "RTS News Programme of the Year". The flagship ITV News at Ten has won numerous BAFTA awards, and also being named "RTS News Programme of the Year" in 2011 and 2015.

ITV News has the second-largest television news audience in the United Kingdom, second only to BBC News (other broadcasters such as Sky News, Channel 4 News and 5 News count their audiences in hundreds of thousands). However, its £43million annual news budget is dwarfed by that of the publicly funded BBC, which spends £89.5million annually on news-gathering, plus a further £23.1million on its rolling news channel.

The Late News (ITV)

The Late News was a late evening news programme on British television networkITV, produced by ITN and broadcast on Fridays at 11pm between January 2008 and March 2009.

The thirty-minute news programme, introduced alongside a revamped News at Ten that aired from Monday to Thursday, enabled ITV to air dramas and entertainment programming past 10pm on Friday evenings.The Late News was initially presented by News at Ten newscasters Mark Austin and Julie Etchingham. After two months, The Late News was realigned with ITV News branding and presented by one newscaster, although continued to be introduced by continuity announcers and billed in television listings as The Late News until its demise. Following an increase in viewing figures for News at Ten, ITV axed The Late News in February 2009 in order for the 10pm programme to air every weeknight at that time.

5 Websites where Teachers can get Funding

In this video TahirYaqub from DigitIdea shows 5 websites where teachers can get funding. These websites provide class supplies, grants for teachers and fellowships for teachers and educators. Teachers who have some projects for their schools but can not fund those projects can start a fundraising campaigns on any of these websites and can get funding for their class or school. In particular those teachers who are running schools in developing countries like India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh and need some class supplies such as an iPad for their students or tablet or even food for their students should share their story on these five websites mentioned in this video and donors who visit these websites on a regular basis will provide funding for their projects.
1. Fundforteachers is the first website mentioned in this video who provides fellowships and grants for teachers. There is a video library on this website and many useful articles. There are some tips on writing grant application.
2. It is a public charity or educators founded by educators to improve the public education. This organization was founded in 1969. They receive findings from organizations as well as individuals. They have received the Charity Navigator’s highest 4 star rating. They only fund public school teachers in the US states.
3. The third website shown in this video is Donorshoose.
This website is US based and they have an eligibility criteria mentioned clearly on their website. This website is good if you need class supplies where a small amount of funding is needed. If you look at “How it Works” section it explains how this funding website works.
4. Pledgecents is the fourth website shown in this video
This website is very popular amongst teachers of both primary and high school. Pledgecents gives you a platform where you can tell your story and ideas and raise money. In your story your main focus should be on your target location, students and how your plan will improve the learning outcome of the students.
If we look at their websites How it Works, there is an explanatory video and on Live fundraiser, you can have a look at some of the existing campaign.
5. The number five website is probably the largest in my opinion for raising funds for schools by teachers or educators. There is an explanatory video on this website which explains how it works. On this website you can also seek grants for your personal medical bills and other emergency expenses.

Why America's School Funding Crisis Is Only Getting Worse (HBO)

American education spending fell by about $600 per student between 2009 and 2014. Meanwhile, public schools are enrolling a growing segment of students who cost states more to teach: English language learners.
By 2025, almost 30 percent of all children in U.S. public schools will be Hispanic, according to the Department of Education. Many of them will be taking classes in English, even as they learn the language.
Schools in Dodge City, Kansas, where education funding has dropped significantly since 2009, are experiencing the effects of these converging trends firsthand.

https://democracynow.org - Schools across Oklahoma are closed today for a third day as teachers continue their strike demanding more funding for education and increased pay. Oklahoma’s public education budget has been slashed more than any other state since the start of the recession in 2008, and its teachers are among the lowest paid in the nation. Scores of teachers are planning to begin a 123-mile protest march today from Tulsa to Oklahoma City. Meanwhile, thousands of teachers continue to protest in Kentucky, demanding a reversal to a provision in a recently passed bill about sewage treatment that gutted their pension benefits. On Monday, every school in the state was closed either due to spring break or in anticipation of a massive rally in the capital of Frankfort, where teachers fil...

Oklahoma Teachers Are Fed Up And Walking Out On April 2. Here's Why.

Lyndsey Stuart is a history and leadership teacher at Bartlesville High School in Oklahoma. She’s been teaching for 10 years. And she’s never had a raise.
“I don't think any teacher goes into the profession and thinks, ‘Oh my gosh, I'm going to be a millionaire,’’’ Stuart said. “But we also don't think that we're going to be that close to poverty.”
Earlier this month, the state teachers’ union, the Oklahoma EducationAssociation, called for teachers to walk out of their classrooms on April 2, the day after the state legislature is required to pass an education budget. They’re calling for a $10,000 raise for teachers over three years, as well as a $200 million increase in funding for education, which has been cut 28.2 percent since 2008.
Stuart makes $34,929 a year as a teacher, but she ...

5 Websites where Teachers can get Funding

In this video TahirYaqub from DigitIdea shows 5 websites where teachers can get funding. These websites provide class supplies, grants for teachers and fellowships for teachers and educators. Teachers who have some projects for their schools but can not fund those projects can start a fundraising campaigns on any of these websites and can get funding for their class or school. In particular those teachers who are running schools in developing countries like India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh and need some class supplies such as an iPad for their students or tablet or even food for their students should share their story on these five websites mentioned in this video and donors who visit these websites on a regular basis will provide funding for their projects.

American education spending fell by about $600 per student between 2009 and 2014. Meanwhile, public schools are enrolling a growing segment of students who cost states more to teach: English language learners.
By 2025, almost 30 percent of all children in U.S. public schools will be Hispanic, according to the Department of Education. Many of them will be taking classes in English, even as they learn the language.
Schools in Dodge City, Kansas, where education funding has dropped significantly since 2009, are experiencing the effects of these converging trends firsthand.

Some Oklahoma school districts will remain closed on Monday as the state’s largest teachers’ union continues its nearly week-long strike, demanding more school funding.

Oklahoma’s public education budget has been slashed more than any other state since the start of the recession in 2008, and its teachers are among the lowest paid in the nation. Scores of teachers are planning to begin a 123-mile protest march today from Tulsa to Oklahoma City. Meanwhile, thousands of teachers continue to protest in Kentucky, demanding a reversal to a provision in a recently passed bill about sewage treatment that gutted their pension benefits. On Monday, every school in the state was closed either due to spring break or in anticipation of a massive rally in the capital of Frankfort, where teachers filled the rotunda of the Kentucky state Capitol, chanting “Fund our schools!” This year’s wave of teacher rebellions began in West Virginia, where teachers won a 5 percent pay raise after a historic strike. We speak to four guests: Oklahoma teacher Andrea Thomas, Kentucky state lawmaker AtticaScott, retired Kentucky teacher Mikey McCoy and labor journalist Mike Elk.

Lyndsey Stuart is a history and leadership teacher at Bartlesville High School in Oklahoma. She’s been teaching for 10 years. And she’s never had a raise.
“I don't think any teacher goes into the profession and thinks, ‘Oh my gosh, I'm going to be a millionaire,’’’ Stuart said. “But we also don't think that we're going to be that close to poverty.”
Earlier this month, the state teachers’ union, the Oklahoma EducationAssociation, called for teachers to walk out of their classrooms on April 2, the day after the state legislature is required to pass an education budget. They’re calling for a $10,000 raise for teachers over three years, as well as a $200 million increase in funding for education, which has been cut 28.2 percent since 2008.
Stuart makes $34,929 a year as a teacher, but she works around 30 more hours a week as a photographer to make ends meet. She said she makes about as much as a photographer as she does teaching.
And Stuart isn’t alone. The average high school teacher in Oklahoma makes $42,460, which ranks 50th in the nation.
“I know more teachers than not that have to have second or third jobs,” she said.
And teachers in other states within the seven-state region of Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas average $48,103 as of May 2017.
Teachers at Bartlesville High School have been taking personal days every Tuesday to lobby the legislature in Oklahoma City. But they haven’t been as receptive as the teachers would have liked them to be.
“We had a senator come to our school and told our children that a teacher walkout wasn't going to change anything. And I beg to differ. When you have 50 to 80,000, maybe 100,000 teachers show up at the Capitol, it's going to change things.”
While the Oklahoma House has passed a package that would give teachers at least a $5,000 raise and raise taxes in the state for the first time since 1990, it hasn’t become law yet. And it doesn’t include an increase in school funding. So the Oklahoma Education Association has said the walkout is still on.
“We were left with no other option [but to walk out] because they will not listen to us. And thus far they've gotten away with doing whatever they want, and telling teachers just wait and be patient,” Stuart said. “And how long do you wait? How long can we compromise?”

In this video TahirYaqub from DigitIdea shows 5 websites where teachers can get funding. These websites provide class supplies, grants for teachers and fellowships for teachers and educators. Teachers who have some projects for their schools but can not fund those projects can start a fundraising campaigns on any of these websites and can get funding for their class or school. In particular those teachers who are running schools in developing countries like India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh and need some class supplies such as an iPad for their students or tablet or even food for their students should share their story on these five websites mentioned in this video and donors who visit these websites on a regular basis will provide funding for their projects.
1. Fundforteachers is the first website mentioned in this video who provides fellowships and grants for teachers. There is a video library on this website and many useful articles. There are some tips on writing grant application.
2. It is a public charity or educators founded by educators to improve the public education. This organization was founded in 1969. They receive findings from organizations as well as individuals. They have received the Charity Navigator’s highest 4 star rating. They only fund public school teachers in the US states.
3. The third website shown in this video is Donorshoose.
This website is US based and they have an eligibility criteria mentioned clearly on their website. This website is good if you need class supplies where a small amount of funding is needed. If you look at “How it Works” section it explains how this funding website works.
4. Pledgecents is the fourth website shown in this video
This website is very popular amongst teachers of both primary and high school. Pledgecents gives you a platform where you can tell your story and ideas and raise money. In your story your main focus should be on your target location, students and how your plan will improve the learning outcome of the students.
If we look at their websites How it Works, there is an explanatory video and on Live fundraiser, you can have a look at some of the existing campaign.
5. The number five website is probably the largest in my opinion for raising funds for schools by teachers or educators. There is an explanatory video on this website which explains how it works. On this website you can also seek grants for your personal medical bills and other emergency expenses.

Teachers in Revolt: Meet the Educators in Kentucky & Oklahoma Walking Out over School Funding

https://democracynow.org - Schools across Oklahoma are closed today for a third day as teachers continue their strike demanding more funding for education and increased pay. Oklahoma’s public education budget has been slashed more than any other state since the start of the recession in 2008, and its teachers are among the lowest paid in the nation. Scores of teachers are planning to begin a 123-mile protest march today from Tulsa to Oklahoma City. Meanwhile, thousands of teachers continue to protest in Kentucky, demanding a reversal to a provision in a recently passed bill about sewage treatment that gutted their pension benefits. On Monday, every school in the state was closed either due to spring break or in anticipation of a massive rally in the capital of Frankfort, where teachers filled the rotunda of the Kentucky state Capitol, chanting “Fund our schools!” This year’s wave of teacher rebellions began in West Virginia, where teachers won a 5 percent pay raise after a historic strike. We speak to four guests: Oklahoma teacher Andrea Thomas, Kentucky state lawmaker AtticaScott, retired Kentucky teacher Mikey McCoy and labor journalist Mike Elk.

Oklahoma Teachers Are Fed Up And Walking Out On April 2. Here's Why.

Lyndsey Stuart is a history and leadership teacher at Bartlesville High School in Oklahoma. She’s been teaching for 10 years. And she’s never had a raise.
“I don't think any teacher goes into the profession and thinks, ‘Oh my gosh, I'm going to be a millionaire,’’’ Stuart said. “But we also don't think that we're going to be that close to poverty.”
Earlier this month, the state teachers’ union, the Oklahoma EducationAssociation, called for teachers to walk out of their classrooms on April 2, the day after the state legislature is required to pass an education budget. They’re calling for a $10,000 raise for teachers over three years, as well as a $200 million increase in funding for education, which has been cut 28.2 percent since 2008.
Stuart makes $34,929 a year as a teacher, but she works around 30 more hours a week as a photographer to make ends meet. She said she makes about as much as a photographer as she does teaching.
And Stuart isn’t alone. The average high school teacher in Oklahoma makes $42,460, which ranks 50th in the nation.
“I know more teachers than not that have to have second or third jobs,” she said.
And teachers in other states within the seven-state region of Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas average $48,103 as of May 2017.
Teachers at Bartlesville High School have been taking personal days every Tuesday to lobby the legislature in Oklahoma City. But they haven’t been as receptive as the teachers would have liked them to be.
“We had a senator come to our school and told our children that a teacher walkout wasn't going to change anything. And I beg to differ. When you have 50 to 80,000, maybe 100,000 teachers show up at the Capitol, it's going to change things.”
While the Oklahoma House has passed a package that would give teachers at least a $5,000 raise and raise taxes in the state for the first time since 1990, it hasn’t become law yet. And it doesn’t include an increase in school funding. So the Oklahoma Education Association has said the walkout is still on.
“We were left with no other option [but to walk out] because they will not listen to us. And thus far they've gotten away with doing whatever they want, and telling teachers just wait and be patient,” Stuart said. “And how long do you wait? How long can we compromise?”

5 Websites where Teachers can get Funding

In this video TahirYaqub from DigitIdea shows 5 websites where teachers can get funding. These websites provide class supplies, grants for teachers and fellowships for teachers and educators. Teachers who have some projects for their schools but can not fund those projects can start a fundraising campaigns on any of these websites and can get funding for their class or school. In particular those teachers who are running schools in developing countries like India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh and need some class supplies such as an iPad for their students or tablet or even food for their students should share their story on these five websites mentioned in this video and donors who visit these websites on a regular basis will provide funding for their projects.
1. Fundforteachers is the first website mentioned in this video who provides fellowships and grants for teachers. There is a video library on this website and many useful articles. There are some tips on writing grant application.
2. It is a public charity or educators founded by educators to improve the public education. This organization was founded in 1969. They receive findings from organizations as well as individuals. They have received the Charity Navigator’s highest 4 star rating. They only fund public school teachers in the US states.
3. The third website shown in this video is Donorshoose.
This website is US based and they have an eligibility criteria mentioned clearly on their website. This website is good if you need class supplies where a small amount of funding is needed. If you look at “How it Works” section it explains how this funding website works.
4. Pledgecents is the fourth website shown in this video
This website is very popular amongst teachers of both primary and high school. Pledgecents gives you a platform where you can tell your story and ideas and raise money. In your story your main focus should be on your target location, students and how your plan will improve the learning outcome of the students.
If we look at their websites How it Works, there is an explanatory video and on Live fundraiser, you can have a look at some of the existing campaign.
5. The number five website is probably the largest in my opinion for raising funds for schools by teachers or educators. There is an explanatory video on this website which explains how it works. On this website you can also seek grants for your personal medical bills and other emergency expenses.

Oklahoma teachers demand more school funding

Thousands of teachers in the state of Oklahoma are on strike, demanding more funding for public education, for supplies to upgrade crumbling classrooms and for pay raises for the worst paid teachers in the United States.

The weekday edition of the program is currently anchored by Charlie Rose, Gayle King and Norah O'Donnell. The program emphasizes general national and international news stories and in-depth reports throughout each edition, although it also includes live in-studio and pre-taped interviews. The format was chosen as an alternative to the soft news and lifestyle-driven formats of competitors Today and Good Morning America following the first hour or half-hour of those broadcasts, in an attempt to give the program a competitive edge with its hard news format (CBS has historically placed third in the ratings among the network morning shows).
